I believe that The Peace Dollar represents the first time where the word "Peace" was used on a coin

  A “PAX” upon you!

  Have you checked all of Papal States/ Vatican coins and the Bishopric coins of Central Europe?

  I don’t know about ‘peace’, but you could get a ‘piece’ with those certain altered large cents...

  same thought - pax was certainly on coins hundreds of years [more than 1000] before peace was; pax means peace

  I had to look no further that Wiki to see an antoninianus with Pax Augusta on the reverse. I suspect that a number of Roman coins may show the Pax Romana or Pax Augusta phrase. Interesting thread.

  I guess one could position that PAX on a Roman coin is not the single word "Peace" per se, but a representation of the Goddess of Peace.
